This innovative home was built by the pioneer of passive solar energy himself, Don Booth. Unique in his design incorporating direct, indirect and greenhouse solar energy through natural convection, the new owner will be purchasing a piece of history! Set right outside the historical (& gorgeous) Shaker Village of Canterbury, along a private road maintained by the 6 homes beautifully set here (& encompassed by 500 acres of conservation land at its entrance), this bright, open concept home has a cozy, welcoming feeling to those that enter. It is currently used as a 2-family dwelling with only the bottom level currently rented out to a very long-term tenant (far below market rents but not on a lease); the home can easily be used again as a single family with its beautiful, open staircase leading from the top floor down to the bottom (or use as an easy in-law set up!). The gorgeous hardwood flooring and all wood trim in the home is from this very property. Open concept and beautifully bright top floor has a large, open kitchen/dining area that leads right into the large, open living room area. 3/4 bath has a new vanity top and the bedroom on top level has a walk in closet, too! Mudroom entry has washer/dryer hookups and convenient side entrance. Downstairs has walk out door plus glass sliders in the kitchen/living room area, and bedroom (3/4 bathroom en suite on this level) with large greenhouse window perfect for the indoor gardening enthusiast! Come love where you live!
